This little guy will be my last Flathead in the area I moved away from (many of you know where, but don't need the thousands of lurkers knowing where I have caught all my fish). I am now moved up to Long Lake and will not be catching any more fish for a while (besides the Franklin contest hopefully).

It's been fun! Hopefully I will find some fishin buds up here.

Nice fish RM! Ya, kind of slow going, but to be expected this time of year.

I pretty much threw in the towel a month back now. Between a hand full of skunk trips, kind of getting burned out, the wife not happy (she hates my catfishing grin ), spending more family time with the kids (plus being very busy) and knowing if I went the next month and a half with out catching a monster, I might hang up the whole sha-bang wink So I figured enough was enough for the summer smile Plus I just think of all the time I will have when I retire wink

I am not ruling out late summer and early fall secret spot whistle fishing with secrete baits though grin

I just realized I have yet to post an image this year in this thread, so I figure I would throw up the couple videos I put together from last spring for posterity wink .

Full time/volunteer FiremanAndy saved this trip back when. He was fishing sand flats before sand flats where in and having good luck grin Never rule out shallow sand flats wink

I am sure you all have seen this one. grin

Watching these does kind of make me want to get out though tired . I do have some more, but nothing big (my rule 35 or under no KOTC register). I hope to have another video or two yet this year of some quality fish, but when the bar is raised, a quality fish is a pipe dream grin

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
